This recipe makes a golden, rather than dark, Christmas beer. With the
proportions of hops and spices used, you get a complex mix of aromas,
with none of them being too dominant. Other than being a lager and using
various temperatures, this is a very easy brew to make. If anyone else
tries it out, I'd be curious to hear the results. Original Gravity: 1.071
